I bought this hoping it would be a good value since it used technology similar to the Dyson. It arrived broken(which should have been the sign to return it immediately!), but because my husband is handy, he quickly replaced the defective belt and the vacuum worked. I have been using the vacuum for almost a week. We vacuum daily, and I have found the vacuum to be heavy and awkward to use. The telescoping handle comes out to vacuum high places, however the vacuum falls over frequently when using the handle. It does seem to pick up well. But not well enough to cancel out all the negatives.

About the only thing good about the vacuum is the fact that it does have good suction. However, everything else on my vacuum has broken. The hand wand broke and there's no way to repair. The holder for the hose broke, so I have to deal with the hose hanging all over the place. The cord holder also broke. I would not recommend.

I have had this item less than a year and the belt has been replaced 3 times. The only thing I liked a bout it was the suction. Today it shut off and will not turn back on. Needless to say I'm in the market for another vacuum.
